Phthalate assuranceExplicit claim + transparent formula

What backs the claim

Dr. Bronner's explicitly excludes phthalates from Sal Suds and publishes the complete current formula for the exact available 16-ounce variant.

What it does not prove

EWG's July 2025 exact-name VERIFIED record lists an older formulation with sea salt and without limonene, while the current maker formula uses sodium chloride and adds limonene, so no current exact-formula EWG assurance is claimed. The maker disclosure is not a public finished-batch quantitative phthalate test. Essential oils and limonene can irritate or sensitize some users. Dilute as directed, keep out of eyes, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes after contact, and do not drink.

Pregnancy Human cohort

A large null study is evidence, not a universal guarantee

No primary association remained statistically significant after false-discovery-rate correction, and the repeated-outcome and mixture analyses also showed no significant overall association after correction. Selected MMP findings appeared in secondary age-two definitions but were not consistent across ages or analytic approaches.

When exposure and response are both measured in urine

Most associations between early-pregnancy urinary phthalate or replacement metabolites and urinary placental-angiogenesis or kidney-related proteins were imprecise. The highlighted MCPP–NGAL association was no longer statistically significant after multiple-comparison correction.
